At the time of writing there were only 10 spots left for next week's PCA Industry Leaders Forum, Caps and Closures: Issues, Trends and the Road Ahead.

Unless you are both quick and lucky, you may have missed out on securing a spot. Or you may not be available on 4 February to attend. That's a shame. There's a lot in the event that's going to help you make business decisions throughout the year.

We're here to help. PKN's Caps and Closures feature will cover the forum in its March-April issue. And we're still open for input. If you'd like to be part of our feature contact PKN managing editor, Lindy Hughson.

If you do snare one of the last places at the forum, here's what you'll hear:
 
Neil Highfield, who is in charge of business development at Melbourne-based Caps & Closures, will lead with his profile of the key drivers, trends in the food and beverage sectors, what consumers want, the role of innovation and the shape of things to come over the next five years or so.

Neil will focus on:


- The current state of play in the caps and closures industry in Australia & NZ;

- The key market drivers – quality, innovation and price;

- Areas of new growth potential;
- Competition from imports;

- Consumer demands and expectations;

- The latest developments, innovations and trends;

- The outlook over the next few years.
